Folkman has been named chairman of the housing committee, Mr. Johnson reported, and will immediately choose other members of his committee in order to prepare to take care of every student and faculty member who attends the festival.

The anticipated students who will come to Weber in May will come from Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, Idaho, and Nevada, and only those students who have placed in district festivals with a rating "superlative" will be heard in the festival contests in Ogden.

Weber Freshman Plays Role BY GERALD WRIGHT Darrell Brown, freshman business student at Weber college, today described a most harrowing experience to student acquaintances, as the result of a hold-up-murder in which he participated as one of the victims. A part-time employe of Safeway Grocery Store No. 4 of Ogden, Brown was working at his job of cashier Tuesday evening at the time of the holdup, which resulted in the death of Detective Hoyt Gates. The whole ghastly affair, Brown indicated, showed that the bandit was an experienced, merciless criminal and not the weeping novice published reports have characterized him as. Brown's own account follows: Closing Time "It was six-thirty, closing time. The employes of the store were cleaning up, preparing to leave. As it was my duty to lock the door, I had taken the keys from the manager and walked toward the front of the store. Before I could reach the door it opened, admitting a six-foot man of medium build wearing a dark overcoat. His right hand was held up inside the coat in a curious fashion. Otherwise he was just a late customer. "Instead of passing, he bumped into me and something was jammed in my ribs hard. Go back to the till,' he said and poked me with his gun. Call the other fellows. I called but they thought I was just joking. 'Get them over here Charm Plans... personality and marjorie Lecturer . . Mrs. Beth Summerhays Charm Lectures Feature S. L. Women Mrs. Beth Summerhays, fashion co-ordinator and fashion show director of Z. C. M. I., will he at Weber Wednesday afternoon. Mrs. Summerhays will bring with her two models who will demonstrate college fashions. She graduated from the University of Utah with a major in home (Continued on Page 2) or I'll let you have it,' he swore at me. Goddamming and sonsa bitching me. I yelled again and swore too but was almost paralyzed. Whew! "The manager was talking on the telephone to a woman. He was so he could say, 'Call the police' to her but nothing more. He didn't know himself what was up but one of the clerks told him to say it. Then he hung up. Late Customer "We were all gathered by the check stand. The fellow said, 'Okay, now give me the money.' Just as I reached for the register, in walked a late customer and his wife. The bandit scattered us but the customer said, 'What's come over you guys, takin' it easy for a change?' Then he and the hold-up both went to filling baskets, but the gunman kept us covered inside his coat. "When Detective Gates stepped inside, 10 minutes after the call, somehow the fellow spotted him for a policeman and let him have it. Three times in all, at about 20 feet. He hit Gates every time but Gates' bullets went into the ceiling. After the detective crawled outside, the fellow tried for a getaway but Gates shot again. Somehow the fellow thought the place was surrounded and only tried to get the manager to come to him for a shield. But the manager got shot at a few times by the bandit and kept away. By this time all the clerks and the customer's wife were hid out in the meat department. K3ra3K&.. vowles All week long the fellows of Weber college have been anxiously watching lists on the bulletin board to see if they can possibly go to the registrar's office. Why? To get their grades? To see if they are still students in good standing? No! To see if by any chance they have been drafted for Friday night, February 21. The girls at Weber have chosen to show their patriotism by giving a conscription dance, using a patriotic theme, and drafting their partners.Each girl placed her preference in a gold fish bowl. The fellow who received the most invitations will be presented at intermission and crowned king. (Maybe in this case he ought to be the general.) The invitations are being given out this week by Mrs. Clarisse Hall, advisor of A. W. S., who is also the registrar. Tickets will be on sale next Monday in the women's lounge for 50 cents. The music for the dance is to be furnished by the Hi-Hatters. At intermission a floor show will be presented under the direction of Lorraine Ritchie. The ballroom will be decorated in red, white, and blue. "If you fellows haven't yet received an invitation, have hope because some of the girls are slow in turning in their preferences. And girls turn in your preferences at once, before the men around Weber all go gray," says President Larkin. Injured Students Return To Classwork Here Foss Robinson and Clair Aldous are now back at school again after being absent for several days due to injuries sustained in an automobile crash. While driving home from Salt Lake City during a snow storm an approaching car skidded into the right hand lane in which Clair Aldous was driving. Due to the wet and slippery highway, neither car was able to stop and the cars collided. In Holdup-Murder DARK EL BROWN The customer was hid out in the back of the store, but the people in the street could see him and tried to get the police to do something about him; they thought he was the robber. Tear Gas "By this time the police had edged into the store and were trying to get at the fellow. He was at the rear of the store watching the door to the back room and the front entrance both, but the State Legislative Group Slates Biennial Junket to Weber College Weber College Roll Shows Heavy Increase Weber college, with an enrollment of 1224 resident full-time students for the 1940-41 academic year, contributed to a 20 per cent increase in the enrollment of 610 American junior colleges during the past year, figures released Friday in the 1941 directory of American Association of Junior Colleges reveal. Utah's six junior colleges have a total enrollment of 3299. This figure is exceeded in the 11 western states only by California, which has 64 junior colleges and 86,357 students. Idaho is third in the western group with four junior colleges and 2110 students, the directory shows. Statistics issued last fall by Dr. Walter C. Eells, executive secretary of American Association of Junior Colleges during an Ogden visit, show that California, Utah, and Idaho also lead the nation in per capita junior college enrollment. California has 119 junior college students per 10,000 population; Utah, 39; and Idaho, 38. The national average is 15, Dr. Eells pointed out. Weber college's enrollment jumped from 875 at the close of the 1938-39 year to 1121 at the close of 1939-40. Thus far in 1940-41, with the school year only half completed, the figure has reached 1224, college officials said. Substitute Lyceum Comes Feb. 24 Dr. A. M. Harding of the University of Arkansas will present a Sky Tour here on Monday, February 24 at eleven o'clock in the Moench auditorium. Dr. Harding is replacing Max Gene Noal, deep sea diver. Dr. Harding, professor of mathematics and astronomy, has devoted more than 30 years to the study of science, part of which time was spent at the University of Chicago, where he was awarded a doctor's degree in mathematics and astronomy.Although he has written several scientific textbooks his illustrated address are simple, non-technical, full of life and detail. They are intended for those who have not made a special study of science. Dr. Harding will present his program at the University of Utah the same day as he will be here. He will journey to the U. S. A. C. after he is here. Four Weberites Receive Cadet Appointments As a result of difficult physical and mental examinations, three Weber college students, and one alumnus received their letters of acceptance to the U. S. flying cadet service recently. The recipients are: Blaine Felt, Alan Christenson, Wendall Sepich, and Sam Anderson.They will be called to service just as soon as classes can be arranged to accomodate them. They will probably receive the appointments within the next few weeks. police got in and kept crawling toward him. Finally a tear gas bomb thrown into the back room bothered him and the police put their guns on him and he threw his gun away and put up his hands. "But he wasn't the sissy the reports made him out to be. If he seemed to be shedding tears, it was just the gas. He was a real gang-buster bad man in our store for about 35 minutes. And we knew we were in danger of getting shot all the time he was there, though we didn't know Detective Gates had been hit." Brown still showed signs of the ordeal when he gave out these facts of his experience, some hours later. He said bullet holes showed that 17 shots had been fired. Faculty Seminar Panel Discusses Maw Bill Governor Herbert Maw's streamlined bill for governmental reorganization of Utah was discussed in panel by faculty members in their regular seminar Monday evening in the ladies' lounge. The seminar committee of the faculty had general charge. Mr. David Trevithick led the discussion and Mr. Walter Neville, Mr. Clyde Decker, Mr. Dix Jones, and Mr. C. H. Anderson spoke on phases of the bill. Trend of the discussion was chiefly favorable.

Immediately following the parade, the bands will move to Ogderi municipal stadium, where each of the contestants placing first, second or third in each event, will be given certificates of award for their participation. The big event, however, will be the massed formations and band numbers at the stadium, which, it is believed, will draw a numerous group of spectators to see the grand finale of the three-day festival. The anticipated students who will come to Weber in May will come from Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, Idaho, and Nevada, and only those students who have placed in district festivals with a rating "superlative" will be heard in the festival contests in Ogden. Other committee heads named by Mr. Johnson include A. L. Levin, finance; Police Lieutenant Darrei E. Shaw, traffic; William P. Miller, superintendent of Weber county schools, entertainment; with Louis A. Gladwell as chairman and M. J. Bunnell and T. R. Johnson as members of the publicity committee.

Weber Freshman Plays Role BY GERALD WRIGHT Darrell Brown, freshman business student at Weber college, today described a most harrowing experience to student acquaintances, as the result of a hold-up-murder in which he participated as one of the victims. A part-time employe of Safeway Grocery Store No. 4 of Ogden, Brown was working at his job of cashier Tuesday evening at the time of the holdup, which resulted in the death of Detective Hoyt Gates. The whole ghastly affair, Brown indicated, showed that the bandit was an experienced, merciless criminal and not the weeping novice published reports have characterized him as. Brown's own account follows: Closing Time "It was six-thirty, closing time. The employes of the store were cleaning up, preparing to leave. As it was my duty to lock the door, I had taken the keys from the manager and walked toward the front of the store. Before I could reach the door it opened, admitting a six-foot man of medium build wearing a dark overcoat. His right hand was held up inside the coat in a curious fashion. Otherwise he was just a late customer. "Instead of passing, he bumped into me and something was jammed in my ribs hard. Go back to the till,' he said and poked me with his gun. Call the other fellows. I called but they thought I was just joking. 'Get them over here Charm Plans... personality and marjorie Lecturer . . Mrs. Beth Summerhays Charm Lectures Feature S. L. Women Mrs. Beth Summerhays, fashion co-ordinator and fashion show director of Z. C. M. I., will he at Weber Wednesday afternoon. Mrs. Summerhays will bring with her two models who will demonstrate college fashions. She graduated from the University of Utah with a major in home (Continued on Page 2) or I'll let you have it,' he swore at me. Goddamming and sonsa bitching me. I yelled again and swore too but was almost paralyzed. Whew! "The manager was talking on the telephone to a woman. He was so he could say, 'Call the police' to her but nothing more. He didn't know himself what was up but one of the clerks told him to say it. Then he hung up. Late Customer "We were all gathered by the check stand. The fellow said, 'Okay, now give me the money.' Just as I reached for the register, in walked a late customer and his wife. The bandit scattered us but the customer said, 'What's come over you guys, takin' it easy for a change?' Then he and the hold-up both went to filling baskets, but the gunman kept us covered inside his coat. "When Detective Gates stepped inside, 10 minutes after the call, somehow the fellow spotted him for a policeman and let him have it. Three times in all, at about 20 feet. He hit Gates every time but Gates' bullets went into the ceiling. After the detective crawled outside, the fellow tried for a getaway but Gates shot again. Somehow the fellow thought the place was surrounded and only tried to get the manager to come to him for a shield. But the manager got shot at a few times by the bandit and kept away. By this time all the clerks and the customer's wife were hid out in the meat department. K3ra3K&.. vowles All week long the fellows of Weber college have been anxiously watching lists on the bulletin board to see if they can possibly go to the registrar's office. Why? To get their grades? To see if they are still students in good standing? No! To see if by any chance they have been drafted for Friday night, February 21. The girls at Weber have chosen to show their patriotism by giving a conscription dance, using a patriotic theme, and drafting their partners.Each girl placed her preference in a gold fish bowl. The fellow who received the most invitations will be presented at intermission and crowned king. (Maybe in this case he ought to be the general.) The invitations are being given out this week by Mrs. Clarisse Hall, advisor of A. W. S., who is also the registrar. Tickets will be on sale next Monday in the women's lounge for 50 cents. The music for the dance is to be furnished by the Hi-Hatters. At intermission a floor show will be presented under the direction of Lorraine Ritchie. The ballroom will be decorated in red, white, and blue. "If you fellows haven't yet received an invitation, have hope because some of the girls are slow in turning in their preferences. And girls turn in your preferences at once, before the men around Weber all go gray," says President Larkin. Injured Students Return To Classwork Here Foss Robinson and Clair Aldous are now back at school again after being absent for several days due to injuries sustained in an automobile crash. While driving home from Salt Lake City during a snow storm an approaching car skidded into the right hand lane in which Clair Aldous was driving. Due to the wet and slippery highway, neither car was able to stop and the cars collided. In Holdup-Murder DARK EL BROWN The customer was hid out in the back of the store, but the people in the street could see him and tried to get the police to do something about him; they thought he was the robber. Tear Gas "By this time the police had edged into the store and were trying to get at the fellow. He was at the rear of the store watching the door to the back room and the front entrance both, but the State Legislative Group Slates Biennial Junket to Weber College Weber College Roll Shows Heavy Increase Weber college, with an enrollment of 1224 resident full-time students for the 1940-41 academic year, contributed to a 20 per cent increase in the enrollment of 610 American junior colleges during the past year, figures released Friday in the 1941 directory of American Association of Junior Colleges reveal. Utah's six junior colleges have a total enrollment of 3299. This figure is exceeded in the 11 western states only by California, which has 64 junior colleges and 86,357 students. Idaho is third in the western group with four junior colleges and 2110 students, the directory shows. Statistics issued last fall by Dr. Walter C. Eells, executive secretary of American Association of Junior Colleges during an Ogden visit, show that California, Utah, and Idaho also lead the nation in per capita junior college enrollment. California has 119 junior college students per 10,000 population; Utah, 39; and Idaho, 38. The national average is 15, Dr. Eells pointed out. Weber college's enrollment jumped from 875 at the close of the 1938-39 year to 1121 at the close of 1939-40. Thus far in 1940-41, with the school year only half completed, the figure has reached 1224, college officials said. Substitute Lyceum Comes Feb. 24 Dr. A. M.

A. C. after he is here. Four Weberites Receive Cadet Appointments As a result of difficult physical and mental examinations, three Weber college students, and one alumnus received their letters of acceptance to the U. S. flying cadet service recently. The recipients are: Blaine Felt, Alan Christenson, Wendall Sepich, and Sam Anderson.They will be called to service just as soon as classes can be arranged to accomodate them. They will probably receive the appointments within the next few weeks. police got in and kept crawling toward him. Finally a tear gas bomb thrown into the back room bothered him and the police put their guns on him and he threw his gun away and put up his hands. "But he wasn't the sissy the reports made him out to be. If he seemed to be shedding tears, it was just the gas. He was a real gang-buster bad man in our store for about 35 minutes. And we knew we were in danger of getting shot all the time he was there, though we didn't know Detective Gates had been hit." Brown still showed signs of the ordeal when he gave out these facts of his experience, some hours later. He said bullet holes showed that 17 shots had been fired.
